Comedy-rich LA has a lot to choose from. Here are some highlights for the month of May:
[While I'd like to tell you what's happening at the Laugh Factory, I can't since the calendar part of their website hasn't been working for at least a week.]
May 4th (TONIGHT) @ 7:30pm - Janeane Garofolo @ the Hollywood Improv
May 4th (TONIGHT) - Tommy Chong & Shelby @ the Brea Improv - Do you think there will be any jokes about getting stoned?
